| | So, you and I are neighbours, we literally live next door, buy the same supplies,
use the same post office and we both fill out this shipping form
Means that a customer could order all blue parts from you, order the exact same
yellow parts from me and have different shipping costs because we filled it out
differently.
|
Isn't it the same thing than having two stores in the same area with different
shipping costs listed on their splash page, as it currently is? 
In Spain you have a few stores, and all of them charge different shipping prices,
or add small fees, and we all get the same prices. Or maybe not.
| | Now, multiply that by 30,000
Added to that effect all the countries that have price increases and those that
start the option and don't adjust to it.
I don't know if it makes a lot of sense to me that 200 stores in, say Ohio,
fill out the same info and potentially do it wrong
|
If they are going to do it wrong, well, they'll figure out and do it right
or either don't do it. And if they do it wrong, and already charge wrong
prices... what is the difference?
| |
Or the people that use the shipping calculator to pad shipping costs.
Is that really better for the customer?
|
This is the thing I'd like more input. Would customers want it?
I'm not a good one to provide info on this, since I'm not one of those
that will make a big deal over a 50 cents overcharge. It's funny to see people
really caring about this. Are you going to fight over less than a Euro? Do you
really need that? Anyways, that is my way of thinking and another topic, so don't
discuss about it.

Finally someone has realized this.
WHO is going to maintain a worldwide shipping calculator?
WHO is going to verify accuracy of every rate for every package in every country?
|
I think I didn't make the thing clear enough.
In my solution, bricklink would only give away the system, the options to do
your thing. They should make the "options" to consider weight, bulky parts, dimensions,
fees, etc. Then, the seller is the one who fills out the forms and the
prices. BrickLink would not make you do or charge anything, you are the one to
choose prices and ranges, and if you want to set up that system.

A shipping table for the US Post Office is 30+ pages, Ash made one not long ago.
But Ash is manages a shipping store and is an HTML wizard.
Ordinary people can't make a thing like that, we'd have to use BrickLink's.
